Official Dropbox .Net v2 SDK, slow uploading speed for large files
Hello,
We use Official Dropbox .Net v2 SDK.
Average uploading speed for some our clients is 50-100 kb/sec.
We use the following code to upload chunks
log.Trace("{0}. File chunk taken....
The web site uses a somewhat different piece of infrastructure than the API, so that may not be a good comparison.
If you want to test your connection to the Dropbox API content servers directly though, you can test a simpler /2/files/upload API call, e.g., using curl:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload
That would eliminate the complexity of using upload sessions, and let you see what kind of speeds you're getting for a single connection.
That is all clear, thanks.
But speed is 50 kb/sec...
How can we test the uploading speed to find the error? Should we upload a file via browser and check if the uploading speed is equal?
P.S.
We use a dynamic chunk size. If we receive a timeout error then we start to upload from the beginning with reduced chunk size. By default we upload chunk size = 8 mb.
